Eggs point side up in (side rolling) incubator. How bad is that?

This is the one we're using. It was recommended to me by a couple local quail raisers for "hobby hatching". It fits 30 eggs (I'll add a picture of my eggs before we started them). So far the temperature has held great, we've managed to keep the humidity where we wanted it.... those darn points just keep pointing up.

We bought 24 "true blue" celadon eggs and they sent 30. My incubator furs all 30 but definitely couldn't fit more. I was hoping to keep them all until we can candle them so that we can get as many chicks as possible. Is this too tight? Can they stay this way until we can candle them next weekend?

cant see photos
I think the pictures worked better in a separate post. Let me know if you can't see them.
 
i can see the photos now. i would recommend attempting to rearrange the eggs so that they are lengthwise end-to-end as much as space allows and continue to re-orient by hand until candling date. when they turn sideways, they don’t roll/turn smoothly resulting in pointy side up
